It is a colorless contact insecticide, C14H9Cl5, toxic to humans and animals when swallowed or absorbed through the skin. It contains pesticides. Substances that are not brocken down by biological processes are called non-biodegradable subtances. or Non-biodegradable substance are those which do not decay over a period of time when buried in the soil. ex:metal, plastic, DDT, etc.
DDT is a very useful insecticide but also is dangerous for humans and animals.
One reason for the difference in the concentration of DDT in these organisms could be the difference in their feeding habits. Organisms higher up in the food chain, such as birds that feed on fish, may accumulate higher concentrations of DDT over time due to the process of biomagnification.
DDT is an insecticide.
DDT is flammable.
DDT biodegradability is extremely low.
YES
yes
No. It is still found, even in pristine environments, decades after its use was banned.

They eventually decompose, which is the reason they are called biodegradable.
